Jump Rope Training - Handle Modification

April 2011 - Within this video, Ross Enamait demonstrates a simple modification that can be made to an inexpensive jump rope. Following the discussion, he demonstrates a few basic turning styles starting at 3:42 (sprint in place, double unders, criss-cross, and double unders with a criss-cross).

Close up pictures of the rope handle can be found at the blog entry below:

Hi Ross! I've been training with a rope for a few years now and have nailed running in place and double unders. I've never understood the last section you demonstrate though, the "freestyle" part starting at 4:52. What are you doing there?

[rossenamait]

@mfrowley - Just having fun with the rope, mixing up a variety of turning styles

Hi Ross, thank you for your teachings. When choosing a rope, it there a particular length that in best? I am 175cm or 5ft 9inch what length would you suggest?

[rossenamait]

@haveyouseenmykeys - 9 feet should be fine at 5'9" (9 feet is a fairly standard rope length)

Another good video as usual Ross, how about a look at your gym in the next one? How did you design, it is it in your garage?

I've developed "Tennis Elbow" from Jump Roping. It kinda started out laughable, because Ive never played tennis, but it's become a real nuisance in many other types of exercises and even striking the heavy bag. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hey Ross, I had the same problem a few weeks ago. I overcame this by sanding down the ends of the handles to create smooth edges. I found this to be a good modification when both handles were initially intact. Your method would obviously help if one/both handles are damaged. Thanks once again Ross!
